Heard this before
I'm due to fly on the dream, and have been since Monday. At midday today we were given Thunderbirds are go, imagine my disappointment when at 17.00 we were told, yet again, that we had missed our window! However, bags are on plane, push back scheduled for 10.30, raise the nose, kneel the plane, load the tow-bar, lower the nose, avoid the lamp-posts, taxi somewhere, wait four minutes (according to pilot) for the screen to defrost(engines to warm at full power),take off, drink large quantities of chinese vodka(not as good as russian-unavailable due to direct flight from China instead of planned return to Kiev).
Repeat above after landing at Tripoli, arrive Lagos 0030(gods willing). Unload, build stage, gig, reload, return to somewhere in UK, no doubt on Nigerian vodka.
TBC.
Can't believe I'm getting the chance to fly on her and girlfriend is homicidally jealous!
Chocks away, cerdo
